Winners Circle

 

 And the Winners Are...

 

Documentaries

First Prize:
Get Trauma
"Well shot, simple story, really takes advantage of the visual capabilities of the DSLRs. Excellent idea for a subject (kitesurfing)--and this is definitely the video that shows that this story is better told through motion than stills." -Vincent Laforet
"Beautifully crafted documentary. Skillfully and exquisitely shot. A pleasure to experience." - Rodney Charters

 

Second Prize:
Unbreakable Glass
"The video shows how passionate the teacher is, and how much he inspires the students. Definitely could've gotten more visually compelling shots of the glass, but still cool to look at." -Vincent Laforet

 

Third Prize:
Learning to Look
"While the shots are a little choppy, the film nicely intersperses the classic artworks with its documentary footage of New York City students -- and the subject is wholly inspiring " -Studio Daily editors

 

 

Music Videos

First Prize:
Holy Boys Danger Club "Criminal"
"It's a little short on content, but I like its style."- Michael Grecco

 

Second Prize:
Kaos in da Flesh, "Forgive Me Father"
"This video has good pacing. The images superimposed on the actor's body and various surfaces are thought-provoking." - the Studio Daily editors

 

Third Prize:
Angel Falls, "Vacate"
"Nice use of lighting. The vacant-lot setting works well with the song." - the Studio Daily editors

 

 

 

Narrative

First Prize:
Maurine
"It's hilarious. The ending scene is brilliant, with the guy on stilts in the background. Very well done." - Michael Grecco
"An amazingly well-made little film. Looks stunning. Totally forgot it was shot on 5D." - Rodney Charters

 

Second Prize:
A Short Story About 'Stop'
"Even though it is essentially a commercial or industrial piece, it's really well done. Visually, it really incorporates the idea of still, individual frames that help tell a story with normal motion footage. The directing and energy from the talent is very good." - Michael Grecco
"Clearly the most professionally made piece. Way too long, but as a commercial or industrial piece, it definitely gets the job done. They have a great mix of shot types here, and the editing is tight. Also, a mix of stills and motion that works very well." - Vincent Laforet

 

Third Prize:
Black Cab
"It's well done visually. I think the story could have been worked a little better so it was more subtleIt was beautifully shot but a little too on-the-noise, storywise." - Michael Grecco
"Nice mix of shots, considering most of the movie took place in one taxi" -Vincent Laforet
